Conformity Declaration
The following described machine complies with the appropriate basic safety and health
requirement of the EC Low Voltage Directive No: 73/23 / EEC and EC Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive 89/336 / EEC based on its design and type, as brought into
circulation by us.

System overview
General description
InteliCompactNT Family controllers are comprehensive gen-set controllers for single and multiple
generating sets operating in stand-by or parallel modes. A modular construction allow upgrades to
different levels of complexity in order to provide the best solution for various customer applications.
The controllers are equipped with a powerful graphic display showing icons, symbols and bar-graphs
for intuitive operation, which sets, together with high functionality, new standards in Gen-set controls.
The key features are:
Easy-to-use operation and installation. Factory default configuration covers most of

applications
Different customer changes are possible thanks to the configurability
Excellent remote communication capabilities
High level of EFI engines support, most of world producers supported
High reliability
Configurability
One of the key features of the controller is high level of adaptability of the system to the needs of
every particular application. The way, how to achieve this, is the configuration.
NOTE:
Use LiteEdit PC software to the read configuration from the controller or disk, view it, modify it and
write the configuration to controller or disk.
The firmware contains large number of binary inputs and outputs needed for all necessary functions
available in the firmware. But not all functions are required at the same time on the same gen-set and
also the controller hardware does not have so many input and output terminals. One of main tasks of
the configuration is mapping of "logical" firmware inputs and outputs to the "physical" hardware inputs
and outputs.
Configuration parts:
1. Mapping of logical binary inputs (functions) or assigning alarms to physical binary input
terminals
2. Mapping of logical binary outputs (functions) to physical binary output terminals
3. Assigning sensor characteristics and alarms to analog inputs
4. Assigning control values and output characteristics to analog outputs
5. Selecting of peripherial modules which are connected to the controller and doing the same as
above for them
6. Selecting of ECU type if an ECU is connected
7. Changing language of the controller texts

PRINCIPLE OF BINARY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS CONFIGURATION
The controller is delivered with a default configuration, which should fit to most standart
applications. This default configuration can be changed only using PC and LiteEdit software. See
LiteEdit documentation for details.
NOTE:
You need one of communication modules to connect the controller to a PC with LiteEdit. There is a
special easy removable service module for cases, where there is no communication module
permanently attached.
Once the configuration is modified, it can be stored in a file for later usage with another controller or
for backup purposes. The file is called archive and has file extension "aic". An archive contains full
image of the controller at the moment of saving (if the controller is online to the PC) except firmware,
i.e. besides configuration there are also current adjustment of all setpoints, all measured values, a
copy of history log and a copy of alarm list.
The archive can be simply used for cloning of controllers, which means preparing controllers with
identical configuration and settings.
Applications overview
Single applications
The typical scheme of a single parallel to mains application is shown below. The controller controls
two breakers - mains breaker and generator breaker. Feedbacks from both breakers are required.

SINGLE PARALLEL TO MAINS APPLICATION
Multiple applications
The typical scheme of multiple island-parallel application without mains and with mains and AMF
function is shown below. The controller controls one breaker only - generator breaker. Feedback from
generator breaker is required. For parallel to mains operation also mains breaker feedback is required.
ISLAND-PARALLEL OPERATION WITHOUT MAINS

10
ISLAND-PARALLEL OPERATION WITH AMF AND WITHOUT PARALLELING
True RMS measurement

This controller measures AC values based on True RMS principle. This principle corresponds exactly
to the physical definition of alternating voltage and current effective values. Under normal
circumstances the mains voltage and current should have pure sinusoidal waveform. However some
nonlinear elements connected to the mains produce harmonic waveforms with frequencies of
multiplies of the basic mains frequency and this may result in deformation of the voltage and/or current
waveforms. The True RMS measurement gives accurate readings of effective values not only for
pure sinusoidal waveforms, but also for deformed waveforms.
NOTE:
The harmonic deformation causes that the Power Factor of a generator working parallel with the
mains can not reach values in certain range around the PF 1.00. The higher is the deformation, the
wider is the power factor dead range. If the requested power factor is adjusted inside the dead range,
the controller can not reach the requested value because of above explained fact.

11
Installation

Voltage and current inputs

WARNING!
Risk of personal injury due to electric shock when manipulating with voltage terminals under voltage!
Be sure the terminals are not under voltage before touching it.
WARNING!
Do not open secondary circuit of current transformers when primary circuit is closed!!! Open the
primary circuit first!
Use 1.5 mm2 cables for voltage connection and 2.5 mm2 for current transformers connection.
Adjust nominal voltage, nominal current, CT ratio and PT ratio by appropriate setpoints in the Basic
Settings group. Learn about how to view and change setpoints in the User interface chapter.
VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT WIRING

14
CURRENT MEASUREMENT WIRING
Speed measurement
The engine speed can be measured either from the generator frequency or from a magnetic pickup. If
an EFI engine is configured, the engine speed is obtained from the ECU.

15
Pickup
A magnetic speed sensor (pickup) is the most common method of engine speed measurement. To
use this method, mount the pickup opposite to the engine flywhell, connect the cable to the controller
as shown on the picture below and adjust the setpoint Gear Teeth according to the number of teeth on
the flywheel.
See chapter Technical data for details about the pickup input parameters.
Generator frequency
If the pickup is not used, set the setpoint Gear Teeth to zero. The engine speed will be measured from
the generator frequency. Connect the W terminal from the charging alternator instead of pickup, if
possible. See picture below.

16
Additional running engine indication

It is helpful to have another information besides from speed (RPM), whether the engine is rotating or
not, especially if RPM is measured from the generator frequency instead of magnetic pickup. The
generator frequency measurement can be unreliable at very low speeds and/or can have delayed
reaction to fast and big changes (i.e. in the moment the engine has just started..).
Following conditions are evaluated as additional running engine indication:
Voltage on the D+ input is higher than 80% of battery voltage. Connect this input to the D+ (L)
terminal of the charging alternator and enable the D+ function by setpoint D+ Function. If D+
terminal is not available, leave the input unconnected and disable the function.
The pickup is not used and frequency is detected on the pickup input. Connect the pickup
input to the W terminal of the charging alternator if you do not use pickup and the W terminal
is available. If not, leave the input unconnected.
NOTE:
The starter cut-off frequency has to be adjusted by the setpoint Start W Freq. If you know the
charging alternator nominal frequency, adjust the setpoint to frequency obtained from
following equation:
fcutoff = fnom * (Starting RPM / Nominal RPM)
If you do not know the charging alternator nominal frequency, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure that the starting accumulator is fully charged.
2. Close a fuel valve manually to disable the engine to be started.

17
3. Connect a PC with LiteEdit to the controller and display "Values" window, group
"Engine", value W-TerminalFreq.
4. Select MAN mode and press Start button to crank the gen-set. Make a note about W
terminal frequency while the gen-set is cranking.
5. Press Stop button to stop cranking.
6. Adjust the setpoint Start W Freq to a value twice higher than you measured during
cranking.
Oil pressure > Starting Oil P setpoint. The oil pressure is evaluated from the analog input 1 or
from the ECU if ECU is configured.
Generator voltage in at least one phase > 20% of nominal voltage
These signals are used during start for deenergizing the starter motor even if still no RPM is measured
and also during stop for evaluation if the engine is really stopped.
Binary inputs
Use min. 1 mm2 cables for wiring of binary inputs.
NOTE:
The name and function or alarm type for each binary input have to be assigned during the
configuration.

18
WIRING OF BINARY INPUTS
Binary outputs
Use min. 1 mm2 cables for wiring of binary outputs. Use external relays as indicated on the schematic
below for all outputs except those where low-current loads are connected (signalization etc..).
NOTE:
The function of each output has to be assigned during the configuration.
CAUTION!
Use suppression diodes on all relays and other inductive loads!

19
WIRING OF BINARY OUTPUTS
Analog inputs
The analog inputs are designed for resistive automotive type sensors like VDO or DATCON. The
sensors are connected either by one wire (the second pole is sensor body) or by two wires.
In case of grounded sensors connect the AI COM terminal to the engine body as near from
the sensors as possible.
In case of isolated sensors connect the AI COM terminal to the negative power supply
terminal of the controller as well as the opposite poles of the sensors.
NOTE:
The fail sensor alarm is issued if the measured resistance is smaller than one half of the first (lowest)
point of the sensor curve characteristic or is greater than 112,5% of the last (greatest) point of the
sensor curve characteristic.

20
WIRING OF ANALOG INPUTS - GROUNDED SENSORS
WIRING OF ANALOG INPUTS - ISOLATED SENSORS
Tristate inputs
Analog inputs can be used also as binary or tristate, i.e. for contact sensors without or with circuit
check. The threshold level is 750. In case of tristate, values lower than 10 and values over 2400
are evaluated as sensor failure (short or open circuit).

21
WIRING OF ANALOG INPUTS - USED AS BINARY OR TRISTATE

NOTE:
The name, sensor characteristic and alarm types for each analog input have to be assigned during the
configuration.
Circuit breakers
There are two power switches controlled by the controller:
The generator circuit breaker or contactor - GCB

The Mains circuit breaker or contactor - MCB (SPtM application only)
It is possible to use either a motorized circuit breaker or contactor. Below is the list of avalilable control
outputs that should fit to all types of contactors or breakers. Following rules have to be kept when
designing the wiring of power switches and their wiring:
The control outputs must be configured and wiring of the power switches must be provided
such a way, that the controller has full control over the breakers - i.e. the controller can open
and close the breaker at any time.
The breaker must respond within max. 2s to a close and open command. A special attention
should be paid to opening of motorized circuit breakers, as it could take more than 2s on some
types. In such cases it is necessary to use undervoltage coil for fast opening.
The breaker feedback functions must be configured onto some binary inputs and the signals
from the breakers must be connected to it and provide true information about the breaker
position.
Breaker control ouputs
Close/open An output for control of a contactor. It's state represents the breaker position

22
requested by the controller. The breaker must react within 2s to a close or open
command, otherwise alarm is issued.
ON coil
An output giving 2s pulse in the moment the breaker has to be closed. The output is
intended for control of close coils of circuit breakers.
OFF coil
An output giving pulse in the moment the breaker has to be opened. The pulse lasts
until the feedback deactivates, but at least 2s. The output is intended for control of
open coils of circuit breakers.
UV coil
The output is active the whole time the gen-set is running (GCB, not in idle or
cooling) or the controller is switched on (MCB). The output is deactivated for at least
2s in the moment the breaker has to be switched off. The output is intended for
control of undervoltage coils of circuit breakers.
BREAKER OUTPUTS TIMING

Breaker timing
MCB special requirements

(SPtM only)
1. If a contactor is used on the MCB position, it is recommended to provide the wiring such a
way, that the contactor will be normally closed and will open if the MCB Close/Open closes.
This behavior is called "negative logic" and can be adjusted by the setpoint MCB Logic. The
negative logic will prevent accidental opening of the MCB when the controller is switched off.
2. If a contactor is used on the MCB position, it will open self immediately after the mains has
failed, because it will loose power for the coil. That is why following adjustment is necessary to
prevent from getting MCB fail alarm: MCB Opens On = MAINSFAIL, Mains V Del <= 1sec.
3. If a 230V-motor driven circuit breaker is used on the MCB position and undervoltage coil is not
fitted, it is not possible to open the breaker after the mains has failed, because there is no
power for the motor drive until the gen-set is started and providing voltage. Adjusting the
setpoint MCB Opens On = GEN RUN will prevent from getting MCB fail alarm.
AVR interface
The AVR output is used to control the voltage or power factor of the generator via the remote voltage
adjust input provided by the AVR.

23
The output from the controller is a 5V PWM, that is designed to be used together with IG-AVRi
module. The AVRi module provides galvanic separation of the controller from the generator and PWM
to voltage conversion, which is needed for most AVRs. The output from the IG-AVRi module is
available as positive, negative or symmetric. The output voltage range is adjustable by a trimmer
located on the module.
The initial level of the AVR output is adjustable by the setpoint AVRi Bias.

Speed governor interface

The speed governor output is used to control the speed or power of the engine via the remote speed
adjust input provided by the speed governor.
The output from the controller can work in following modes:
voltage mode 0 to 10V

voltage mode 0 to 10V with serial 10k resistor
5V PWM mode
The PWM mode is designed and optimized for Caterpillar governors. The jumpers for speed governor
output mode are shown on the picture below.
The initial level of the governor output is adjustable by the setpoint Speed Gov Bias and the
characteristic (positive or negative) can be selected by setpoint Speed Gov Char.

29
The active range of the output can be adapted to the governor input range by setpoints
SpeedGovLowLim and SpeedGovHiLim.
NOTE:
Some governors may evaluate input voltage out of allowed range as a faulty condition and their
function may be blocked.

CAN bus wiring

The wiring of CAN bus communication should be provided so that following rules are kept:
Maximal length of the CAN bus depends on the communication speed. For the speed of
250kbps, which is used on the CAN1 bus (extension modules, ECU) and CAN2 bus if it is
switched to 32C mode the maximal length is 200m. If the CAN2 bus is switched to 8C mode
the speed is 50kbps and the maximal length is 800m.
The bus must be wired in linear form with termination resistors at both ends. No nodes except
on the controller terminals are allowed.
Use cable with following parameters:
Cable type
Shielded twisted pair
Impedance
120
Propagation velocity
>= 75% (delay <= 4.4 ns/m)
Wire crosscut
>= 0.25mm2
Attenuation (@1MHz)

and it can be silenced by pressing horn reset button. In the controller the LEDs are configured like
binary outputs, so all binary output functions can be used to drive the LEDs.

38
NOTE:
The address selection jumpers must be in the iG position for using the module with the InteliCompactNT.
A separate manual for the IGL-RA15 module is available for download on the ComAp web site
IL-NT-AOUT8
The IL-NT-AOUT8 module is to be directly plugged-in into the slot on the rear side of the controller.
The module contains 8 PWM open collector type outputs. The outputs are specially designed for
driving of analog automotive type gauges. Any of analog values measured or computed in the
controller can be configured to each output and it is possible to configure different conversion
characteristic (curve) to each output.
NOTE:
The module is compatible with gauges, that are originally designed for resistive sensors, i.e. have
board voltage compensation. These gauges have 3 terminals: +BATT, SENSOR, GND.

39
Examples of automotive gauges that can be used with the module:
VDO Oil pressure gauge 0-10Bar, p.n. 350-010-007

VDO Coolant temperature gauge 40-120C, p.n. 310-010-002

IL-NT BIO8
Hybrid binary input/output module
IL-NT BIO8 is optional plug-in card. Through this card controller can accommodate up to 8 binary
inputs or outputs. In LiteEdit PC configuration tool (version 4.4 and higher) it is possible to easily
choose if particular I/O will be binary input or output.
To insert the module, you must open the cover first (use screwdriver to open) and then insert the
module into slot. Once you have inserted it, the module will snap under plastic teeth. It is supposed to
be installed permanently. Should you need to remove it, the safest way is to remove whole back cover
and than remove module manually. Installing IL-NT BIO8 module is similar to installing RS 232
module. The difference is that module fits to extension module slot and after installing IL-NT BIO8
you do not put back the small cover.

IL-NT CT-BIO7
Hybrid current input and binary input/output module (SPtM)
IC-NT CT-BIO7 is optional plug-in card. Through this card controller can accommodate one AC
current (CT) measuring input and up to 7 binary inputs or outputs. In LiteEdit PC configuration tool
(version 4.4 and higher) it is possible to easily choose if particular I/O will be binary input or output.
NOTE:
Current measuring input is intended to measure one phase (AC) current of mains and to limit
Export/Import to/from mains to zero value during parallel to mains operation. This is case of SPtM
application, so current input of IC-NT CT-BIO7 module is useful for SPtM controllers only.
To insert the module, you must open the cover first (use screwdriver to open) and then insert the
module into slot. Once you have inserted it, the module will snap under plastic teeth. It is supposed to
be installed permanently. Should you need to remove it, the safest way is to remove whole back cover

IL-NT-S-USB
This module contains USB slave port connected internally to the COM1 of the controller and is
designed as an easy removable service module.
This module requires a FTDI USB Serial converter driver installed in the PC. The driver creates a
virtual serial port (COM) in the PC, which must be used in LiteEdit as communication port when a
connection is beeing opened.
NOTE:
The FTDI driver is installed together with LiteEdit.
NOTE:
When the USB cable from the controller is plugged-in first time into different USB ports on the PC
including USB hubs, it can be recognized as new hardware and the drivers are installed again with
different number of the virtual serial port.
CAUTION!
Use shielded USB cable only!
IB-Lite
IB-Lite is a plug-in module with Ethernet 10/100 Mbit interface in RJ45 connector. The module is
internally connected to both COM1 and COM2 serial channels and provides an interface for
connecting a PC with LiteEdit or InteliMonitor through ethernet/internet network, for sending active emails and for integration of the controller into a building management (Modbus/TCP protocol).
45
IB-LITE MODULE
Use Ethernet UTP cable with RJ45 connector for connection of the module into your ethernet network.
The module can be also connected directly to a PC using cross-wired UTP cable.

NOTE:
The module requires some settings before initial usage. See chapter IB-Lite setup procedure
.
EFI engines
To meet requests for low fuel consumption, low emmisions and high reliability, modern engines are
electronically controlled by an "Engine Control Unit" (ECU). The ECU is fitted directly on the engine, it
measures various engine parameters like speed, intake air flow, coolant temperature etc. and controls
various actuators like injectors, ignition, valves etc. to achieve optimal operating conditions of the
engine.
Most of the ECUs have also a communication interface to the rest of the system (e.g. a vehicle, a genset, a pump ...) to provide engine operational data, alarm conditions and also to enable remote control.
46
The most commonly used interface is the CAN bus with SAE J1939 protocol or sometimes also
RS485 with MODBUS protocol.
The J1939 protocol was introduced by the SAE organization originally for automotive industry but now
it is often used also for other engine applications. The specification of J1939 is partially open what
means each engine producer can have little bit different kind of "implementation" of the J1939. This is
why each new ECU type obviously needs slight modification of the controller firmware to support the
particular ECU.
The IC-NT controller supports most of J1939-based ECU types as well as Cummins Modbus ECU and
new ECU types are added to the firmware as they appear in the field.
Differencies between a classic and EFI-engine application

The main difference is less wiring, sensors and actuators in an EFI-engine application compared to a
classic one. The typical wiring of an EFI-engine application shows that there are no analog sensors,
no pickup and no governor. All this information is beeing communicated between the controller and
the ECU via the communicaton bus.

Getting into operation

Programming the configuration
The controller is delivered with default configuration which should fit to most standart applications.
Nevertheless you may need to modify it because your application is different. Please, refer to the
LiteEdit manual or help to get information how to use LiteEdit for changing the particular items of the
configuration and write the configuration to the controller.
CONFIGURATION WINDOW IN LITEEDIT
Programming the firmware

Although the controller is delivered containing the latest firmware available in the moment of
production of the controller, it may be needed to upgrade the firmware in future. The process of
programming firmware is following:
1. First you need the requested firmware. Firmwares of standard branch and major versions are
distributed and installed together with LiteEdit installation package. Release versions and
branches are distributed as import packages, that need to be imported to the LiteEdit.
2. Latest installation and/or import packages are available for download at www.comap.cz.
Please register to get access to the download page. The registration is free.
3. The import package is a file with IWE extension. To perform the import, start LiteEdit, do not
open any connection, go to Options -> Import firmware and select appropriate file.
4. Create an online connection to the controller and save the archive for backup purposes.
NOTE:
It is not possible to programm firmware during offline connection!

53
5. Go to menu Controller -> Programming and clonning -> Programming, select appropriate
firmware and press OK button.
6. The selected firmware will be programmed into your controller.
NOTE:
It is possible to programm only firmwares, that are compatible with the currently attached controller.
Other firmwares are disabled and can not be selected for programming.
CAUTION!
The configuration returns back to default one after a firmware has been programmed. You have to reprogramm also the configuration, if the default one does not fit!
CAUTION!
Also some setpoints may have incorrect values after a new firmware was programmed. Please check
all setpoints after programming.
Programming a non-responding controller

If the controller does not contain valid firmware, a new firmware can not be programmed standard
way. This situation can occur if the connection between PC and the controller was interrupted e.g.
during previous firmware upgrade. In such a case the controller has blank display and does not
communicate with the PC. The boot-jumper must be used to get a valid firmware into the controller.
1. Disconnect power supply from the controller, insert a communication module and close the
boot-jumper.
BOOT-JUMPER ON IL-NT-RS232
NOTE:
See communication modules chapter for information about boot-jumper position at other
modules.
2. Connect proper communication cable between the controller and PC.

3. Start LiteEdit and open online connection according to the module used. Select controller
address 1. Wait until the bottom line of LiteEdit will show red line with text "DDE server: Error".
4. Go to menu Controller -> Programming and clonning -> Programming, select appropriate
firmware and press OK button.
5. Follow instructions given by a message appeared and finally press OK button.
6. Another message will appear when programming is finished. Follow instructions given there.

Step-by-step guide
Following you will find a couple of steps which you should carry out when you are getting a gen-set
into the operation. It supposes the switchboard wiring has been already checked.
NOTE:
This guide is not a handbook for a beginner, but it is focused on things specific for ComAp controllers
and expects sufficient knowledge and skills in the field of generating sets!
WARNING!
Some parts of the generator, engine and switchboard may have dangerous voltage which can cause
injury or death when touched!
WARNING!
Rotating parts of the gen-set can catch your hair or parts of clothes and cause serious injury.
1. Disconnect binary outputs from the controller before connecting the power supply. If you have
SPtM application, be sure that MCB and GCB are protected agains accidental switching when
you are working in the switchboard.
2. Check the controller configuration according to the wiring diagram of the switchboard. If the
configuration has been modified, write it to the controller
3. Write all setpoints from the default archive and then go through them and readjust all of them
if it is necessary. Pay special attention to nominal values, overspeed, gear teeths, Fuel
solenoid and CT ratio.
4. Check all settings regarding speed sensing and additional running information, especially if
you do not use pickup for speed sensing.
5. Adjust bias setpoints for the governor and AVRi output to the recommended levels and adjust
all delays for generator protections to high values to have enough time for making adjustments
on running gen-set.
6. Connect the binary outputs back.
7. Adjust all setpoints related to engine start and stabilization phase, then start the gen-set in
MAN mode and then make fine readjustments.
8. Leave the gen-set running and adjust the governor and/or AVRi so that the gen-set will have
speed and voltage near to the nominal values. If this is not possible to achieve by turning the
trim on AVRi and/or governor, you can also slightly change the bias setpoints.
NOTE:
The bias setpoints must not be near the limits for the particular output, because the regulation
loops need sufficient reserve of the output range on both sides to work correctly.
9. Adjust all generator and engine protections according to your needs including the delays.
10. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window to 0. This adjustment will disable issuing of the GCB close
command during sychronizing, but the sychnonizing itself will be performed normally for the
whole adjusted time.
11. Press the GCB button to start the synchronizing and then check by a voltmeter connected
directly over the contactor if the sychroscope indication on the controller screen matches the
voltage. The voltage must be near to 0V when the synchroscope is in 12 o'clock position and
near to 2*Unominal when it is in 6 o'clock position. Check all three phases.

57
12. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window back to your desired value (typically 3-7).
13. Synchronize the gen-set with the mains or other gen-sets. Adjust the setpoints for voltage,
frequency and angle regulation loops to achieve fast and reliable synchronization.
14. Adjust setpoints for power, power factor, loadsharing and VARsharing loops.
15. Check the rest of setpoints and then save the archive to your disk for backup purposes.

Operating modes
Selection of the operating mode is done through Mode buttons on the front panel or by changing of the
Controller mode setpoint (from the front panel or remotely).
NOTE:
If this setpoint is configured as password-protected, correct password must be entered prior
attempting to change the mode.
NOTE:
Mode can not be changed, if Access Lock input is active.
There are following binary inputs that can be used to force one respective operating mode
independently on the mode setpoint selection:
Remote OFF
Remote MAN
Remote AUT
Remote TEST
Rem TEST OnLd
If the respective input is active the controller will change mode to the respective position according to
the active input. If more inputs are active the mode will be changed according to priorities of the
inputs. The priorities matches the order in the list above. If all inputs are deactivated the mode will
return to the original position given by the setpoint.
OFF
The GCB will be opened and the engine will be immediately stopped in this mode without unloading
and cooling. After that it will stay Not ready and can not be started any way. The MCB is closed
permanently (MCB Opens On = GENRUN) or is open or closed according to the mains is present or
not (MCB Opens On = MAINSFAIL). No AMF function will be performed. Buttons MCB, GCB, START,
STOP including the appropriate binary inputs for external buttons are not active.
MAN
The engine can be started and stopped manually using START and STOP buttons (or external buttons
wired to appropiate binary inputs) in MAN mode. When the engine is running, GCB can be closed to a
dead bus or synchronizing can be started by the GCB button. Also MCB can be closed and opened
manually using the MCB button, regardless the mains is present or not. No autostart is performed. No
reaction to the inputs Sys Start/Stop or Rem Start/Stop.
A loaded engine in MAN mode will perform Load sharing and VAR sharing, but will not take place
within the power management.
NOTE:
The breakers are internally locked to close two voltages against each other without synchonizing! The
controller will automatically recognize if the breaker can be just closed or must be synchronized.
CAUTION!
The MCB can be opened manually in MAN mode. Accidental opening the MCB will cause the object
(load) will remain without power!!!

73
AUT
The engine is started and stopped either by the binary input Rem Start/Stop (SPtM) or by the Load
dependent autostart function (SPtM) or by the Power management (MINT). Buttons MCB, GCB,
START, STOP including the appropriate binary inputs for external buttons are not active. The full start
sequence up to the moment when the engine is loaded is automatic as well as unloading and stop
sequence.
WARNING!
If an red alarm is present and the gen-set is in AUT mode, it can start by self after all red alarms
becomes inactive and are acknowledged!!! To avoid this situation, adjust the setpoint AlarmSafetySw
to the ENABLED position.
TEST
(SPtM only)
The behavior of the controller in TEST mode depends mainly on setting of the ReturnFromTEST
setpoint.
Automatic return
Setpoint ReturnFromTEST = ENABLED.
The gen-set will be started when the controller is put to TEST mode and will remain running unloaded.
If a mains failure occurs, the MCB will be opened and after Transfer Del the GCB will be closed and
the gen-set will supply the load. After mains is recovered, the delay MainsReturnDel will count
down and if elapses and the mains is still ok, the controller will synchronize back to the mains,
transfer the load back to the mains (maximum time the both breakers are closed is given by
BreakerOverlap setpoint) and the gen-set will remain running unloaded again until the mode is
changed.
Manual return
Setpoint ReturnFromTEST = DISABLED.
The gen-set will be started when the controller is put to TEST mode and will remain running unloaded.
If a mains failure occurs, the gen-set will take the load after it has started.
The load can be transferred to the gen-set also manually:
If the GCB button is pressed, the controller will synchronize to the mains, transfer the load to
the gen-set (maximum time the both breakers are closed is given by BreakerOverlap setpoint)
and then open the MCB.
If the MCB button is pressed, the controller will open the MCB, then wait for Transfer Del and
finally close the GCB.
When the load is supplied by the gen-set and the mains is healthy, pressing of the MCB button will
start reverse synchronizing and transfer the load back to the mains
. The gen-set remains running until mode is changed.
Test with load

If the binary input Rem TEST OnLd is activated, the controller is switched to TEST mode (i.e. the genset will be started as described above), but once started the controller will automatically either
synchronize to the mains, transfer the load to the gen-set (maximum time the both breakers
are closed is given by BreakerOverlap setpoint) and then open the MCB

74
or
will make a switchover, i.e. open MCB, wait for Transfer Del and close GCB.
This depends on position of the binary input ForwSyncDisable. After the binary input Rem TEST OnLd
has been deactivated, the controller goes back to previous operation mode and it's behavior depends
on it. In most cases it will be AUT mode and the controller will either stay supplying the load if the
mains is failed, or will transfer the load back to the mains.
NOTE:
During the BreakerOverlap time, when both breakers are closed, the load is controlled either to the
constant Baseload level (if MCB has to be opened) or to zero level (if GCB has to be opened).
Periodic exercises
The output from the Exercise timer 1 is internally connected to the Remote TEST binary input to
enable periodic testing of the gen-set.
The controller must have AUT mode selected by mode buttons and other "mode forcing" binary inputs
must not be active to ensure proper function of the exercise.
NOTE:
If a shutdown or other red alarm comes while the load is supplied from the gen-set and the mains is
healthy, the load is switched back to the mains.
Engine start
Diesel engine
The setpoint Fuel Solenoid must be switched to DIESEL position.
1. After the command for start is issued (pressing START button in MAN mode, autostart
condition is fullfiled in AUT mode or controller is switched to TEST mode), the output Prestart
is energized for time period given by setpoint Prestart Time.
2. After the prestart has elapsed, the output Fuel Solenoid is energized and 0,5s after that the
starter motor is activated by energizing the output Starter.
3. When one or more of following conditions are met, the both outputs prestart and starter are
deenergized:
The engine speed exceeds value of Starting RPM or
One of additional running indication signals becomes active.
4. The controller remains in Starting phase until the engine speed exceeds value of Starting
RPM, after that it is considered as started and Idle period will follow.
5. The maximal duration the starter motor is energized is given by setpoint MaxCrank time. If the
engine does not start within this period, the starter motor is deenergized and a pause with
length of CrnkFail pause will follow. Prestart output remains active during the pause. After the
pause has elapsed, next start attempt is executed. The number of start attempts is given by
setpoint Crank Attempts.
6. Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output Idle/Nominal remains
inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by setpoint Idle Time.
7. After the idle period has finished, the output Idle/Nominal is activated and the start-up
sequence is finished. The stabilization phase follows.

75

76
Gas engine
The setpoint Fuel Solenoid must be switched to GAS position.
1. After the command for start is issued (pressing START button in MAN mode, autostart
condition is fullfiled in AUT mode or controller is switched to TEST mode), the output Prestart
is energized for time period given by setpoint Prestart Time.
2. After the prestart has elapsed, the starter motor is activated by energizing the output Starter.
3. When the engine speed exceeds 30RPM, the outputs Fuel Solenoid and Ignition are
energized.
4. When The engine speed exceeds value of Starting RPM, the starter motor is deenergized, the
engine is considered as started and Idle period will follow.
CAUTION!
Additional running indication signals are not evaluated during start of a gas engine. The
Pickup must be used in any case!
5. The maximal duration the starter motor is energized is given by setpoint MaxCrank Time. If
the engine does not start within this period, the starter motor and fuel solenoid are
deenergized and a pause with length of CrnkFail Pause will follow. Prestart output and ignition
remain active during the pause. After the pause has elapsed, next start attempt is executed.
The number of start attempts is given by setpoint Crank Attempts.
6. Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output Idle/Nominal remains
inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by setpoint Idle Time.
7. After the idle period has finished, the output Idle/Nominal is activated and the start-up
sequence is finished. The stabilization phase follows.

77

78
NOTE:
The starting sequence will be interrupted in any moment if a stop command comes.
NOTE:
The Underspeed protection starts to be evaluated 5s after the engine has been started (according to
point 4.).
NOTE:
When the engine is started (according to point 4.) the delay given by setpoint ProtectHoldOff will count
down and after elapsing the protections configured as engine running only are started to be evaluated.
Continue to the stabilization phase.
Stabilization
When the start-up sequence is finished, the gen-set goes to the stabilization phase. There are two
timers (setpoints) in this phase:
1. Min Stab Time starts to count down just after idle period has finished. Generator voltage and
frequency are not checked (respective protections are not evaluated) and GCB can not be
closed even if generator voltage and frequency are in limits.
2. Max Stab Time starts to count down just after idle period has finished. Generator voltage and
frequency are not checked (respective protections are not evaluated) but, opposite to previous
timer, GCB can be closed (or synchronizing started) if generator voltage and frequency are in
limits.
In the situations, when the GCB is closed automatically (AUT, TEST modes), the closing of GCB or
starting of synchronization will occur in the first moment when the generator voltage and frequency will
get into limits and the Min Stab Time has already elapsed.
In case the generator voltage or frequency do not get into limits within the Max Stab Time period,
appropriate protection(s) will be activated and the gen-set will be cooled down and stopped.
NOTE:
The limits for the generator voltage and frequency are given by setpoints in the Gener protect group.
NOTE:
Value of the Min Stab Time setpoint must be lower than the value of Max Stab Time setpoint.
Continue to the connecting to the load phase.
Connecting to the load

When the stabilization phase is finished, the gen-set can be connected to the load.
The command for connecting the gen-set to the load is issued either automatically (AUT, TEST
modes) or manually by pressing the GCB button. Following conditions must be valid:
The gen-set is running and the Min Stab Time timer has elapsed.
The gen-set voltage and frequency are in limits.
NOTE:
The governor and AVR must be adjusted properly to achieve these limits as the controller does not
perform any regulation and the regulation outputs have constant values given by AVRi Bias and
Speed Gov Bias setpoints.

79
There are two ways how the gen-set can be connected to the load (busbar). It depends on the state of
MCB feedback and on the measured mains/bus voltage.
Connecting to dead bus

SPtM: if the MCB is open, the busbar is considered as voltage-free and the GCB is closed without
synchronizing.
MINT: the measured bus voltage is also taken in account and it must be below 2% of the nominal bus
voltage together with the open MCB to close the GCB without synchronizing.
NOTE:
If the group of gen-sets is activated and more gen-sets have to start simultaneously and connect to
the empty busbar, there is an internal logic to prevent closing of more GCBs to the busbar at the same
moment without synchronizing. One of gen-sets will close the GCB, the others will wait and then they
will synchronize to the first one.
Synchronizing
SPtM: If the MCB is closed, the busbar is considered to have identical voltage as measured on the
mains. If the mains voltage/frequency is in limits, the gen-set is first synchronized with the mains and
then the GCB is closed.
MINT: If the measured bus voltage is in limits, the gen-set is first synchronized with the bus and then
the GCB is closed.
The synchronizing consists of voltage matching and frequency/angle matching. Maximum duration of
synchronizing is given by setpoint Sync Timeout. If the synchronizing is not successful within this
period of time, the Sync Timeout alarm will be issued.
NOTE:
The synchronization will be interrupted automatically if any of necessary conditions disappears during
the synchronization process.
Voltage matching
The gen-set voltage is regulated to match the mains/bus voltage with tolerance given by setpoint
Voltage Window. The regulation is adjusted by setpoints Voltage Gain and Voltage Int.
Frequency/angle matching
The gen-set frequency is regulated to match the mains/bus frequency first. The frequency regulation
loop is active (setpoints Freq Gain and Freq int). Once the frequency is matched, the regulation loop is
switched to match the angle (setpoint Angle Gain). When the angle is matched with tolerance +/Phase Window for a time given by setpoint Dwell Time and the voltage is matched too, then the GCB
is closed.
NOTE:
The GCB close command will be not issued, if the Phase Window setpoint is set to 0. Synchronizing
will continue until Sync Timeout alarm occurs or the GCB is closed externally.
NOTE:
The matching loops will continue to run even the GCB close command has been already issued until
the controller will receive GCB feedback or GCB fail alarm will occur. After the feedback has been
received, the control loops are switched to load and power factor loops or load and power factor
sharing respectively.

80
Parallel to mains operation - SPtM

(SPtM only)
After the gen-set has been synchronized to the mains, the parallel to mains operation follows. It
consists of following phases:
Ramping the power up

The first phase of the PTM operation is ramping the gen-set up to the requested power level. The
speed of the ramp is given by the setpoint Load Ramp. The setpoint adjusts ramp time for change
from 0% to 100% of nominal power.
Load control
The load is maintained at the constant level given by setpoint Baseload. Regulation adjustment
setpoints are available in the Sync/load control group.
NOTE:
In every moment when the requested load (e.g. baseload setpoint) changes, the ramp described in the
chapter above will also take place.
Power factor control

The power factor is regulated to a constant value given by setpoint Base PF. PF regulation loop is
active. Regulation adjustment setpoints are available in the Volt/PF control group.
Object load dependent autostart

The gen-set can start and stop automatically according to the object load. To enable this function, the
setpoint PeakAutS/S del must not be set to 0(OFF). An automatic start will occur if the object exceeds
the limit given by setpoint PeakLevelStart and remains exceeded for a period longer than . If the object
load drops below PeakLevelStop, the gen-set will be stopped with the same delay as by start. The
gen-set load is controlled according to selected mode (see above).
NOTE:
The gen-set will stay running if the binary input Rem Start/Stop is active.
Ramping the power down

When stop command is received - e.g. from the binary input Sys Start/Stop is deactivated or STOP
button is pressed, the genset load is ramped down before opening the GCB. The ramp speed is given
by setpoint Load Ramp, the end level is given by GCB Open Level and the timeout for finishing the
ramping without reaching the open level is given by GCB open Del.
When the GCB button is pressed, the gen-set load is ramped down before opening the GCB as well.
But after the GCB has been opened, the gen-set remains running until a stop command comes or the
GCB is pressed again to reclose the GCB.
Continue to the cooldown and stop phase.
Parallel to mains operation - MINT

(MINT only)
If the MCB is closed (MCB feedback is present) and the gen-set has been synchronized to the busbar,
the parallel to mains operation will follow. It consists of following phases:

81
Ramping the power up

The first phase of the PTM operation is ramping the gen-set up to desired power level derived from the
system baseload or up to the load given by load sharing with other gen-sets connected to the busbar.
The speed of the ramp is given by the setpoint Load Ramp. The setpoint adjusts ramp time for change
from 0% to 100% of nominal power.
Load control modes

There are two load control modes - system baseload and load sharing, that are selected by the
setpoint #SysLdCtrl PtM. See the setpoint description for more information. If system baseload mode
is selected, the Load regulation loop is active to maintain the load at the requested level, whis is
derived from the system baseload. Each running gen-set takes relatively equal part of the system
baseload.
In load sharing mode, the loop LS (load sharing) is active to maintain the load at the same relative
level as other loaded gen-sets in the group have. The behavior in this case is identical as in multiple
island mode.
NOTE:
The process of determining which gen-sets shall run is described in the power management chapter.
Power factor control

In system baseload mode the power factor is regulated to a constant value given by setpoint
#SysPwrFactor. PF regulation loop is active. In load sharing mode also power factor sharing is active
to keep the power factor of all loaded gensets at equal level. Regulation adjustment setpoints are
available in the Volt/PF control group.
Ramping the power down

When stop command is received - e.g. from the power management or binary input Sys Start/Stop is
deactivated or STOP button is pressed, the genset load is ramped down before opening the GCB. The
ramp speed is given by setpoint Load Ramp, the end level is given by GCB Open Level and the
timeout for finishing the ramping without reaching the open level is given by GCB Open Del.
When the GCB button is pressed, the gen-set load is ramped down before opening the GCB as well.
But after the GCB has been opened, the gen-set remains running until a stop command comes or the
GCB is pressed again to reclose the GCB.
Island operation - SPtM

(SPtM only)
The situation, when the MCB is open and the load is supplied from the gen-set, is called Island
operation. This situation will occur in following cases:
1. The GCB has been closed to a dead busbar, or
2. The gen-set was running parallel to mains and the MCB has been opened.
Neither voltage nor frequency regulation loop is active. Keeping voltage and frequency at rated values
is a task of AVR and the governor.
When stop command is received - e.g. when the binary input Sys Start/Stop is deactivated or STOP
button is pressed, the GCB will be opened and the gen-set will go to cooldown phase.
82
NOTE:
Using the GCB button in MAN mode the gen-set will not go to cooldown and stop.
Island to PtM transfers

(SPtM only)
If the mains is OK, the gen-set can be transferred back to the parallel to mains operation. The transfer
can be done as no-break transfer (Reverse synchronizing) or break transfer (Changeover). Which of
this kinds will be performed depends on the binary input RevSyncDisable.
In AUT mode or TEST mode with automatic return the reverse synchronizing or changeover is started
automatically after the mains has been restored and remains healthy for a period given by setpoint
MainsReturnDel. Reverse synchronizing can be started manually by pressing MCB button in MAN
mode.
Reverse synchronizing
The reverse synchronizing process is identical as Forward synchronizing, but MCB is closed instead
of GCB. In case the reverse synchronizing is not successful, RevSyncTimeout alarm is issued and the
gen-set continues in island operation. After the alarm has been reset the gen-set can try to make
reverse synchronizing again.
Changeover
The changeover is performed if the reverse synchronizing is disabled with the RevSyncDisable binary
input.
The GCB is opened first and after a time period of Transfer Del the MCB is closed.
Island operation - MINT

(MINT only)
This chapter describes the situation, when more gen-sets are running parallel to each-other but not
with mains. This situation will occur either when:
1. The common busbar is dead due to opened MCB or there is no mains at all and the group of
gensets has been activated, or
2. The group was running parallel to mains and the MCB has been opened.
NOTE:
The controller in MINT application does not control the MCB! Only the MCB position is evaluated from
the binary input MCB Feedback and the position is the basic information for switching between
island and parallel to mains operation.
If the busbar is empty, the first gen-set will close it's GCB without synchronizing. Following gen-sets
will synchronize to the already energized busbar. In case more gensets start simultaneously and the
busbar is empty, the system will prevent closing of more GCB's to the busbar without synchronizing.
Instead of this one of the gen-sets will close the GCB and energize the busbar and the others will wait
and then synchronize to the busbar.
When stop command is received - e.g. from the power management or binary input Sys Start/Stop is
deactivated or STOP button is pressed, the GCB will be opened and the gen-set will go to cooldown
phase.
83
NOTE:
Using the GCB button in MAN mode the gen-set will not go to cooldown and stop.
Power management
(MINT only)
The power management is related to MINT application only. As "Power management" is called the
process of automatic starts and stops of gen-sets within the group, depending on current load, state of
the gen-sets and other conditions.
The concept
The power management is based on the load of the gensets, i.e. next gen-set will start when the load
of the group raises above certain level. A next gen-set will stop, when the load drops down below a
certain level. The proces of determining of starts and stops is done in each controller, there is no
"master" in the system. Each of the controllers can be switched off without influencing the complete
system (except the situation when the respective gen-set will be not available..)
The load of the group is evaluated as so called reserve. The reserve is calculated as difference
between actual and nominal load of running gen-sets. The reserve can be calculated as absoulute (in
kW) or relative (in %). Use the setpoint #PowerMgmt Mode the calculation method.
NOTE:
Power management based on relative reserves perfectly fits for applications, where the load portions
connected to the group at once are much lower than the gen-set capacity. This mode helps to achieve
maximal lifetime of the gen-sets, as they can be operated within optimal load range. The maximal
size of the load connected at once depends on number of actually working gen-sets. The more
gen-sets are connected to the busbar the bigger load portion can be connected at once.
Power management based on absolute reserves can be successfuly used also for cases where the
load portions are similar to the gen-set capacity or even bigger. The goal of the absolute reserve mode
is that the system provides always the same reserve power capacity independently on how
many gen-sets are currently running and this why this mode perfectly fits for industrial plants with
large loads.
Basics
The setpoint Power management enables and disables the gen-set to be active within the
power management of the group and make automatic load dependent starts and stops. If the
power management is disabled, the gen-set will run or not depending only on the binary input
Sys Start/Stop and the start and stop will not depend on the load of the group.
The binary input Sys Start/Stop activates and deactivates the gen-set. If the input is not active,
the gen-set will stop with delay #SysAMFstopDel after the input has been deactivated and will
not start again. It can be started in MAN mode only. When the input is activated again, the
delay #SysAMFstrtDel will start to count down and after that the gen-set is activated and can
start due to power management.
NOTE:
The gen-set will take part of the power management (= will be active) only if the controller is in
AUT mode!
NOTE:

84
The gen-set performs load and VAR sharing whenever it is connected to the busbar i.e. it is
independent on whether the controller is in AUT or MAN mode or whether the power management is
active or not.
Reserves, minimal running power
The value 100*(1 - (Pact/Pnom)) [%] is called relativereserve. It is the difference between actual
relative load and 100%.
The value Pnom - Pact [kW] is called absolute reserve. It is the difference between actual load
of the group and nominal capacity of currently loaded gen-sets.
Running ActPwr = sum of actual load of all active gen-sets within the group, that are
Pact connected to the bus. In parallel to mains operation and baseload mode the baseload level
is taken to the equation instead of actual gensets load.
Pnom
Running NomPwr = sum of nominal power of all active gen-sets within the group, that are
connected to the bus.
If the current system reserve drops below the adjusted reserve for start, the delay
#NextStrt Del will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to start. If the
reserve remains under the limit for the whole countdown period, the gen-set(s) will start.
If the system reserve drops below zero (i.e. the system is overloaded), the delay
#OverldNext Del will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to start. If the
reserve remains under the limit for the whole countdown period, the gen-set(s) will start.
If the system reserve raises over the adjusted reserve for stop, the delay #NextStopDel
will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to stop. If the reserve still
remains over the limit, the gen-sets will stop.
There are two pairs of setpoints for adjusting reserves for start and stop. Normally the pair
#LoadResStrt 1 and #LoadResStop 1 is active. By the binary input Load Reserve 2 the
second pair #LoadResStrt 2 and #LoadResStop 2 is activated.
With adjusting nonzero value to the setpoint #Min Run Power and activating the function by
binary input Min Run Power it is possible to limit the number of running gensets so that the
total nominal power of the loaded gen-sets will never drop below this level even the reserve
for stop is fulfilled.
NOTE:
If the setpoint is adjusted to maximum, the function will force all gen-sets to run.
Priorities
The priority of the gen-set within the group is given by the setpoint Priority. Lower number
represents "higher" priority, i.e. a gen-set with lower number will start before another one with
higher number.
If the binary input Top Priority is active, the gen-set gets highest priority (0) independently on
the sepoint setting.
If more than one gen-set have the same priority, they will act as "one big" gen-set.

85
Start and stop
The controller will decide to start the gen-set in the moment, when the reserve has dropped
below the reserve for start and the gen-sets with higher priorities (lower priority numbers), that
are available for power management, do not have enough capacity to get the reserve back
over the start level or can not fulfil the adjusted minimal running power
The controller will decide to stop the gen-set in the moment, when the reserve has increased
over the reserve for stop and the gen-sets with higher priorities (lower priority numbers), that
are available for power management, have enough capacity to keep the reserve over the start
level and also can fulfil the adjusted minimal running power
NOTE:
When evaluating the stop condition, the controller computes actual reserve without taking in account
the nominal power of self - i.e. it evaluates, how the reserve will be if the respective gen-set stops.
POWER MANAGEMENT WITH ABSOLUTE RESERVES

86
POWER MANAGEMENT WITH RELATIVE RESERVES
Reaction to alarms
If a Shutdown or BOC alarm occurs, the gen-set will be taken out from the power
management and next gen-set will start if necessary.
If a Slow stop alarm occurs, the gen-set will be taken out from the power management, but the
alarm will be suppressed for a definite time to give next gen-set chance to start and connect to
the bus to get the reserve back over the start level. The alarm is suppressed until the reserve
will get back over the start level (can occur either due to next gen-set has connected to the
bus or the load has decreased..) or timeout given by setpoint #SlowStopDel has elapsed. The
alarm will not be suppressed, if there is no other available gen-set that can start.

AMF function
(SPtM only)
The "AMF function" represents the automatic start in case the mains has failed and stop after the
mains has been restored. The automatic start can be enabled or disabled by the setpoint
AMFStartEnable.
NOTE:
The AMF function works only in AUT mode!
Mains failure detection

The mains is considered as faulty, when one or more of following conditions are valid:
The mains voltage is out of limits given by setpoints Mains >V and Mains <V for time period
longer than Mains V Del.
The mains frequency is out of limits given by setpoints Mains >Freq and Mains <Freq for time
period longer than Mains Freq Del.
In the moment when the Vector shift protection occurs.
The MCB close command was not successful and the alarm MCB fail still was not reset.
The binary input Ext MF Relay is active.
Vector shift
If a mains failure occurs during parallel to mains operation, in most cases it causes a fast change of
the generator load. This change can be measured as a jump of the vector of the generator voltage and
evaluated as a symptom of mais failure. The vector shift limit for evaluation of a mains failure is
adjustable by setpoint VectorShiftLim.
NOTE:
Vector shift is beeing evaluated only while the gen-set is working parallel to the mains.
Healthy mains detection

The mains is considered as healthy, when all of following conditions are valid:
The mains voltage is within limits given by setpoints Mains >V and Mains <V.
The mains frequency is within limits given by setpoints Mains >Freq and Mains <Freq.
The alarm MCB fail is not active.
The binary input Ext MF Relay is not active.

88
The AMF procedure

When the mains failure is detected, following steps are performed:
1. If the setpoint MCB Opens On is set to MAINSFAIL, the MCB is opened
2. The timer for automatic start of the gen-set EmergStart Del begins to count down.
3. After the timer has elapsed, the gen-set is started.
NOTE:
The automatic start of the gen-set due to AMF function can be disabled by the input
MainsFailBlock. If the gen-set is already running and the input is activated, the gen-set will
cool down and stop. The control of breakers is not affected by this input.
4. If the setpoint MCB Opens On is set to GENRUN, the MCB is opened once the generator
voltage is in limits.
5. If the mains becomes healthy back and the gen-set is still not connected to the load, the
controller interrupts the startup process and closes back the MCB.
6. The GCB is closed and the gen-set begins to supply the load.
7. After the mains became healthly back, the timer MainsReturnDel begins to count down and
when finished, either reverse synchronizing or switchover is performed. This depends on the
binary input RevSyncDisable. If active, switchover is performed instead of reverse
synchronizing.
8. In case of reverse synchronizing the maximum time both GCB and MCB are closed together
(if there is no demand to continue in parallel operation) is given by setpoint BreakerOverlap.
9. If no demand for parallel operation is active (binary input Rem Start/Stop), the GCB is opened
and the gen-set cooldown and stop follows.
NOTE:
For description how to make a test of AMF function, see chapter operating modes, TEST mode
paragraph.
Engine cooldown and stop

The cooldown phase follows after the stop command has been issued and the GCB has been opened.
Duration of the cooldown phase is adjusted by the setpoint Cooling Time.

Cooling is performed either at nominal speed (generator voltage and frequency protections
are evaluated) or at idle speed (generator voltage and frequency protections are not
evaluated). Selection of the speed is done by the setpoint Cooling Speed.
The cooldown can be finished manually in MAN mode by pressing STOP button.
If a new start request comes, the cooldown will be interrupted and the gen-set will go back to
the stabilization phase. If the cooling was at nominal speed, the stabilization timers are not
count down again so the GCB is immediately ready to be closed.
When the cooldown is finished, the output Fuel Solenoid is deenergized and Stop Solenoid is
energized. The engine shall stop within time period adjusted by setpoint Stop Time. If the engine does
not stop within this time, the alarm Stop fail will be issued.
The output Stop Solenoid is energized until the engine is stopped, but at least for time period of Stop
time. If the Stop time has elapsed and the engine is still not stopped, the stop solenoid is deenergized
for 5s and then energized again for max. Stop time and this repeats until the engine is stopped.
The output Ignition is continuously energized until the engine is stopped.

89
Stopped gen-set evaluation

The gen-set is considered as stopped, when all of following conditions are valid:
The engine speed is lower than 2RPM.

The generator voltage in all phases is lower than 10V.
None of additional running indication signals is active. See chapter Speed sensing for details.
Alarm management
The controller evaluates two levels of alarms. Level 1 - yellow alarm - is a pre-critical alarm, that is
only informative and does not take any action regarding gen-set control. Level 2 - red alarm represents critical situation, where an action has to be taken to prevent damage of the gen-set or
technology.
One alarm of any type can be assigned to each binary input

Two alarms (one yellow and one red type) can be assigned to each analog input
There are also built-in alarms with fixed alarm types.
Each alarm is written to the Alarm list.
Each alarm causes writing of a record into the history log.
Each alarm activates the Alarm and Horn output.
Each alarm can cause sending of a SMS mesage or an e-mail.
ANALOG INPUT ALARM EVALUATION PRINCIPLE
Alarm handling
There are two different alarm categories regarding the period when the alarms are evaluated.
The category is selectable for alarms assigned to binary/analog inputs and fixed for built-in
alarms. The categories are following:
1. The alarm is evaluated all the time when the controller is switched on.
2. The alarm is evaluated only when the engine is running. This type should be used
for example for oil pressure. These alarms are started to be evaluated after the engine
has been started with delay given by setpoint ProtectHoldOff.

90
3. The alarm is evaluated only when the generator is excited. These alarms are started
to be evaluated after the engine has been started and Max Stab Time has elapsed or
GCB has been closed. They remain beeing evaluated until cooling has finished. Only
Generator under/overvoltage, Generator voltage unbalance and Generator
under/overfrequency belong to this category. This category is not configurable to
binary and analog input alarms.
If an alarm is beeing evaluated and appropriate alarm condition is fulfilled, the delay of
evaluation will start to run. The delay is adjustable by setpoint (built-in alarms, analog input
alarms) or is fixed to 500ms (binary input alarms). If the condition persist, the alarm will
activate. The alarm will not activate, if the condition dismisses while the delay is still running.
After pressing Fault reset button or activating binary input FaultResButton all active alarms
change to confirmed state. Confirmed alarms will disappear from the Alarm list as soon as the
respective condition dismisses. If the condition dismisses before acknowledging the alarm, the
alarm will remain in the Alarm list as Inactive. See also Browsing alarms chapter.
NOTE:
The input Sd Override can be used for temporary disabling of red alarms to take their actions. This
input may be used in situations where providing the power is extremely important - e.g. if the gen-set
drives pumps for fire extinguishers (sprinklers).
Alarm states
An alarm can have following states:
Active alarm: the alarm condition persists, alarm delay has elapsed.
Inactive alarm: the alarm condition has disappeared, but the alarm has not been confirmed.
Confirmed alarm: the alarm condition persists, but the alarm has already been confirmed.
Alarm types - Yellow level

The yellow alarm indicates that a value or parameter is out of normal limits, but still did not reach
critical level. Obviously it is indicated by yellow color. This alarm does not cause any actions regarding
the gen-set control.
Warning (WRN)
The Warning alarm does not perform any actions regarding gen-set control.
Alarm types - Red level

The red level alarm indicates reaching of critical level of the respective value or parameter. Obviously
it is indicated by red color. The controller will take one of following actions:
Breaker open and cool down (BOC)

The BOC (electric trip) alarm category is used above all for built-in alarms assigned to the generator
electric values (voltage, current, power etc). GCB is opened immediately, but after that the engine will
perform standard stop procedure including cooling.
Slow stop (STP)

The Slow stop alarm differs from the BOC in the fact, that the gen-set will perform soft unload before
opening the GCB (if possible). After that standard stop procedure including cooling follows.
NOTE:
In the MINT application if the power management is active and a slow stop alarm occurs, the controller
will wait until another gen-set is started (if there is at least one available) before unloading and
stopping the gen-set. The maximum time the controller will wait is given by setpoint #SlowStopDel.
Shutdown (SD)
The Shutdown alarm opens GCB immediately and stops the engine immediately without cooling.
91
NOTE:
It is not possible to start the engine if any red level protection is active or not confirmed.
CAUTION!
The gen-set can start by self after acknowledging the alarms if there is no more active red alarm and
the controller is in AUT or TEST mode!
Sensor fail detection (FLS)

If the measured resistance (or voltage or current in case of IGS-PTM module) on an analog input gets
out of valid range, the sensor fail will be detected and a sensor fail message will appear in the
alarmlist. The valid range is defined by the most-left (RL) and most-right (RH) points of the sensor
characteristic 12.5% from RH-RL.
SENSOR FAIL EVALUATION EXAMPLE

NOTE:
The sensor fail alarm does not influence the gen-set operation.
Remote alarm messaging

If a GSM modem and/or Internet bridge is connected to the controller, the controller can send SMS
messages and/or emails in the moment when a new alarm appears in the Alarm list. The message will
contain a copy of the Alarm list.
To enable this function, you should select with setpoints Yel Alarm Msg and Red Alarm Msg, which
levels of alarms shall be announced (red/yellow/both) and also enter valid GSM phone number and/or
e-mail address to the setpoints TelNo/Addr Ch1 and TelNo/Addr Ch2. It is possible to put either a
GSM number or e-mail to both setpoints.
NOTE:
An internet module must be available for sending of e-mails and a GSM modem is necessary for
sending of SMS. See the Communications chapter for more information.

92
Alarmlist
Alarmlist is a container of active and inactive alarms. It will appear automatically on the controller
display, if a new alarm occurs, or can be displayed manually from the display menu
It can contain up to 16 alarms, but first 7 are visible on the screen. If it is full, recently comming
alarms are not displayed.
Active alarms are shown as inverted, not yet confirmed alarms are marked with asterisk on the
beginning.
An alarm message in the alarmlist begins with a prefix, which represents the alarm type (like
WRN). Then the alarm name follows. In some cases the prefix can be ommited.
NOTE:
The Alarmlist can be read out from the controller via Modbus. See Modbus description chapter.
ECU Alarmlist
The ECU Alarmlist contains alarms, that are received from the ECU. The alarms are represented by
the Diagnostic Trouble Code, which contain information about the subsystem, where the alarm
occured, alarm type and alarm occurence counter.
Most common fault codes are translated into text form. Other fault codes are displayed as numeric
code and the engine fault codes list must be used to find out the reason.
NOTE:
The ECU AlarmList is visible only if an ECU is configured.

History log
The history log is an area in the controller nonvolatile memory, where "snapshots" of the system are
recorded in moments, when important events occur. The history log is important for expecially for
diagnostics of failures and problems. The capacity is over 100 records and it works as FIFO, i.e. the
newest record overwrites the oldest one.
Each record has the same structure and contains:
The event which caused the record (e.g. "Overspeed alarm" or "GCB closed")
Date and time when it was recorded
All important data values like RPM, kW, voltages etc. from the moment the event occured

One binary output is associated to each switch
The behavior of the switch depends on setpoints adjustment.

98
Power switch
There is also one switch assigned to the gen-set active power, which is called Power switch. The
setpoints for on and off level adjustment are located in the setpoint group Analog switches. The output
is provided as the binary output Power switch.

There are following regulation loops built-in in the controller. All of them are PI type except angle loop,
which is P type.
Speed/frequency control loop

Speed/frequency control loop is active during the synchronization, when the gen-set frequency is
controlled to the same value as the mains or bus have, i.e. to achieve zero slip frequency.
Differential angle control loop

Differential angle control loop is active during the synchronization, when the "near to zero" slip
frequency has been successfuly achieved and then the differential angle between generator and
mains/bus voltage shall be reduced to zero.
Power control loop

Power control loop is active during the parallel to mains operation. The recognition of parallel to mains
operation is beeing done on the basis of the binary input MCB feedback. In MINT the setpoint
#SysLdCtrl PtM must be also set to BASELOAD.
Load sharing control loop

Load sharing control loop is active in MINT, whenever the GCB is closed and the binary input MCB
feedback is not active or the setpoint #SysLdCtrl PtM is in LDSHARING position.
Voltage control loop

Voltage control loop is active during synchronization (the generator voltage is controlled to the same
value as the mains or bus has) and during the island operation in SPtM (the gen-set voltage is
controlled to the nominal voltage). During the multiple island operation in MINT the voltage control
loop is also running "in the background" of VAr sharing loop (using P,I parameters multiplied by 0.1) to
maintain the voltage at the nominal level.
Power factor control loop

Power factor control loop is active during the parallel to mains operation. The recognition of parallel to
mains operation is beeing done on the basis of the binary input MCB feedback.
VAr sharing control loop

VAr sharing control loop is active during multiple island operation in MINT application.
PI regulation adjustment
The exact adjustment of a PI loop always depend on the engine and generator characteristic. But
there is a general rule, which can be used in the beginning of adjustment process:
Prepare the system for adjustment. I.e. set limits for related alarms temporarily to values,
which will disable the alarms, set the sychro timeout to maximum value etc.
Adjust the gain to 5% and integration to 0%
Switch the gen-set to MAN mode, start it and put it to the operation phase, where the
appropriate regulation loop is active.
Increase the gain slightly until the controlled quantity starts to oscillate. Then put it back to cca
one half of the value, where the oscillations started.
Increase the integrative factor slightly to achieve acceptable response to changes. Too small
I-factor will cause too slow response, too high I-factor will cause overshooting or even
oscillations.
NOTE:
It may be helpful to disable issuing the GCB close command when adjusting synchronization loops.
Adjust the setpoint Phase Window to 0 to disable it. Adjust the setpoint back to it's original value after
the adjustment is finished.
CAUTION!
Be ready to press emergency stop button in case the regulation loop would start to behave
unacceptable.

101
Setpoints
Setpoints are analog, binary or special data objects, that are used for adjusting the controller to the
specific environment. Setpoints are collected to groups according to their meaning. Setpoints can be
adjusted from the controller front panel, PC, MODBUS etc.
Pasword protection
Each setpoint can be protected by password against unauthorized change. The password protection
can be assigned to the setpoints during the configuration procedure. See the chapter Operator guide
for instructions how to enter and modify password. See also LiteEdit help to learn about working with
password in LiteEdit.
Setpoint synchronization
Setpoints, that are marked with "#" sign at the begin of their names, are synchronized with other
controllers present on the CAN bus line, i.e. the system will ensure that the respective setpoint will
have identical value in each connected controller. If the setpoint is changed in one controller, the same
change will occur in all other controllers. This function is necessary especially for MINT application,
where the system of Power management is based on fact that the respective setpoints are identical in
all controllers.

Values
Values (or quantites) are analog or binary data objects measured or computed by the controller, that
are intended for reading from the controller screen, PC, MODBUS etc. Values are collected to groups
according to their meaning.
NOTE:
Complete overview of all data objects available in the controller can be exported by LiteEdit into a text
file. Open any connection (also off-line with a previously saved archive) and go to menu Controller ->
Generate CFG image.
Invalid flag
If there are no valid data available for a particular value, the invalid flag is set to it. The reason for this
situation can be following:
The value is not beeing evaluated in the scope of current application and configuration.
Sensor fail is detected on an analog input.
The configured ECU or extension module does not provide the particular value.
The communication with the ECU or extension module is interrupted.
A value containing the invalid flag is displayed as "####" in the LiteEdit and on the controller screen. If
such a value is read out via Modbus, it will contain data 32768 in case of signed values and 65535 in
case of unsigned values.

Communication
For details about communication with extension modules and EFI equipped engines see appropriate
chapters in this manual.
More detailed information about all topics regarding communications is available in the
InteliCommunicationGuide document, which is regularly updated and can be downloaded from the
website www.comap.cz.
Direct cable connection

An external communication module is necessary to enable direct cable connection to a PC. The
module is plugged-in into the slot located on the rear side of the controller. See more information
about installation of the modules in separate chapter.
RS232, USB or RS485 interface can be used for direct cable connection to a PC. The setpoint COM1
Mode or COM2 Mode (according to the interface used) must be set to DIRECT position for this kind of
connection.
DIRECT CABLE CONNECTION TYPES

Following modules are available for direct connection to a PC:
1. IL-NT-232
2. IL-NT-RS232-485
3. IL-NT-S-USB (USB easy removable service module)
The RS232 or USB interface uses COM1 port of the controller. The RS485 uses COM2.
NOTE:
Use cross-wired serial communication cable with DB9 female connectors and signals Rx, Tx, GND for
RS232 connection.

115
Modem connection
A PC can be connected to the controller also remotely via modems. Either an analog or GSM or ISDN
modem must be connected to the RS232 interface and the setpoint COM1 Mode must be set to
MODEM.
MODEM CONNECTION TYPES

Following modules can be used for modem connection to a PC:
1. IL-NT-232
2. IL-NT-232-485
The RS232 interface uses COM1 port of the controller.
In case of troubles with the modem communication an additional initialization string may be required.
The reason can be for example some national telephone network specific feature. Use the setpoint
ModemIniString to add some necessary AT commands which will be sent to the modem during the
initialization. See the documentation of the modem for details.
NOTE:
Use the same kind of modem (e.g. analog, GSM or ISDN) as used on the controller also at PC side.
Recommended GSM modems
Siemens M20, TC35, TC35i, ES75, MC39 (baud rate 9600 bps)
Wavecom M1200/WMOD2 (baud rate 9600 bps)
Wavecom Maestro 20
Wavecom Fastrack M1306B (Fastrack M1206B is not recommended)
Falcom A2D

116
Modem setup procedure

Analog modems obviously do not require any setup. The only case it could be needed is if the modem
has been bought in other country with different telephony system than the target country where the
modem will be used.
GSM modems need to be set-up prior to using with the controller. Use the gm_setup program
(installed together with the LiteEdit) to make the initial setup of the modem. See the latest
InteliCommunicationGuide (available on the ComAp web site) for details. The setup must be done
while a SIM card is inserted.
NOTE:
It is always recommended to use modems bought in the target country and approved for it.
Internet connection
A PC can be connected to the controller also remotely via Ethernet (Internet, Intranet). An appropriate
ethernet communication module must be used.
SPtM
Use a plug-in communication module IB-Lite to connect to the IC-NT SPtM controller via internet. The
setpoint COM1 Mode must be set to the DIRECT position.
INTERNET CONNECTION FOR SINGLE CONTROLLER
MINT
Use a plug-in communication module IB-Lite on each controller for connecting to the IC-NT MINT
controllers via internet. The setpoint COM1 Mode must be set to the DIRECT position.

117
INTERNET CONNECTION FOR MULTIPLE CONTROLLERS
Using a web browser

The IB-Lite module with firmware version 1.1 and above makes possible using any web browser for
basic monitoring and adjustment of the controller. Simply put the IP address of the module into the
address line in your web browser like http://192.168.1.254 and then enter access code.
IB-Lite setup procedure

NOTE:
Setup of the module requires certain level of knowledge of networks administration. Ask your IT
specialist for assistance.
Default setting of the module is IP = 192.168.1.254, Netmask = 255.255.255.0, Gateway =
192.168.1.1, mode 100Mbit. Default user name for service web pages is "comap", password "comap".
To restore default setting close the "restore default setting" jumper located on the module before
switching the controller on and remove it few seconds after the controller was switched on.
Configuration
1. Plug the module into the controller and power the controller on.
2. Connect the module into your ethernet network. If the default address does not match local
network parameters (i.e. the network segment does not use IP range 192.168.1.xxx or the IP
192.168.1.254 is occupied), connect the module directly to your PC using cross-wired cable.
See details in the Installation chapter.
3. If you are connected direcly, you have to change temporarily IP address and subnet mask of
your PC Ethernet connection. Use following setting: DHCP disabled, IP from the range
192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.253 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. After the IB-Lite setup is
finished, restore your PC setting back to original values.
4. Start web browser and put http://192.168.1.254/sp_config.htm into the address
line.
5. After successful login the configuration page will be displayed.
6. It is recommended to change the user name and password and keep the new values
confidential.
7. Consult proper IP settings with your IT specialist.

118
8. Consult proper e-mail settings with your e-mail provider. Please note, that also most of public
SMTP servers require authentification and e-mails must be sent from an existing addresses.
9. If you want to enable access only for clients with specified IP addresses, tick the checkbox
"Trusted clients" and fill-in the allowed IP addresses.
NOTE:
See also the latest InteliCommunicationGuide (available on the ComAp web site) for more information
about IB-Lite setup.
Firmware upgrade
1. Follow steps 1-3 of the configuration procedure above.
2. Start web browser and put http://192.168.1.254/sp_fw_upld.htm into the address
line.
3. After successful login the configuration page will be displayed.
4. Press the button "Browse" and select the appropriate firmware file.
5. Press "Upload new firmware" button. After the firmware upload is finished, the module will
restart.
NOTE:
Interrupting the upload will NOT cause any damage. Just repeat the upload again.
IG-IB setup procedure

See the latest InteliCommunicationGuide (available on the ComAp web site) for the information how to
set-up the IG-IB module.
System integration
The controller can be integrated into a building management or similar system using RS232, RS485 or
Ethernet interface and MODBUS protocol. Following modules can be used for this purpose:
1. IL-NT-232
2. IL-NT-232-485
3. IB-Lite (Modbus/TCP)
The setpoint COM1 Mode (RS232) resp. COM2 Mode (RS485, Ethernet) must be set to MODBUS
position. The speed of MODBUS communication for RS232 and RS485 can be adjusted by the
setpoint ModbusCommSpeed. In case of IB-Lite adjust this setpoint to 57600 bps. See also more
detailed description of the MODBUS protocol in separate chapter.
Modbus protocol
The Modbus protocol can be activated on RS232 or RS485 port. The physical link parameters are:
8 data bits
1 stop bit
no parity
communication speed selectable by setpoint ModbusComSpeed
Modbus/TCP protocol uses the TCP/IP frames as the transport layer for Modbus frames. This protocol
is available via the IB-Lite module on port 502.
Following features from the Modbus specification are supported:
Transfer mode RTU

Function 3 (Read Multiple Registers)

119
Function 6 (Write Single Register)

Function 16 (Write Multiple Registers)
The response to an incoming message depends on the communication speed. The delay is not
shorter than the time needed to send/receive 3 and characters. See the latest
InteliCommunicationGuide (available on the ComAp web site) for details, examples etc.
The complete description of Modbus communication protocol can be found in Modbus Protocol
Reference Guide PI-MBUS-300 and Open Modbus Specification Release 1.0. Both documents are
available from web.
NOTE:
The complete list of available registers can be obtained from LiteEdit. Open an online connection to
the controller or open offline an archive and go to menu Controller -> Generate Cfg image to get the
register list.

120
Maintenance
Backup battery replacement
The internal backup battery lifetime is approx. 10 years. Replace the battery, if the alarm Low
BackupBatt occurs. Follow these instructions:
1. Connect the controller to a PC and save an archive for backup purposes.
2. Disconnect all terminals from the controller and remove the controller from the switchboard.
3. Release the rear cover using a flat screwdriver or another suitable tool.
4. Remove all plug-in modules.

5. The battery is located in a holder on the circuit board. Remove the old battery with a small
sharp screwdriver and push with a finger the new battery into the holder. Use only CR1225
lithium battery.

121
6. Put the rear cover back. Use slight pressure to lock the snaps into the housing. Pay attention
that the cover is in correct position and not upside down!
7. Plug the modules back into the slots.
8. Power the controller on, adjust date and time and check all setpoints.

122
Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM

CAUSE
SOLUTION
Not valid configuration in the controller. This

situation can occur if the previous programming Reprogramm the configuration.
of the configuration was interrupted.
SYMPTOM
The unit shows "INIT" and does not work, controller mode can not be changed. This
situation occurs after controller reset if the checksum of setpoints is not correct.
CAUSE
SOLUTION
A new firmware containing new setpoints has

been programmed.
Use LiteEdit online connected to the controller

to check all setpoints and correct the wrong
ones. You have to change at least one setpoint.
If all setpoints are correct, change one of them
and put it back to the original value to
recalculate the checksum. Then use LiteEdit
command Controller -> Reset from init state.
The RTC backup battery is empty.
Replace the battery as described in the

Maintenance chapter. Then proceed with the
LiteEdit as described in the previous situation.
Alternative way is checking all setpoints from
the front panel, change at least one of them and
then switch the controller off and on.
SYMPTOM
You do not know the password.

CAUSE
SOLUTION
Probably forgotten... :-)
Display the information screen containing the

123
serial number a password decode number as

described in the chapter Controller information
screen. Write down both numbers and send a
request to retrieve the passord to your local
distributor containing these two numbers.
SYMPTOM
The controller does not respond to mode buttons on the front panel.
CAUSE
SOLUTION
The mode is forced by one of remote mode

inputs.
Deactivate all remote mode inputs to be able to

change the mode from the front panel.
The input Access Lock is active.
Deactivate the input.
The setpoint ControllerMode is protected by

password.
Enter the password prior to changing the mode.
SYMPTOM
The controller does not respond to the START, STOP or breaker buttons on the front
panel.
CAUSE
SOLUTION
The controller is not in MAN mode.
Switch the controller into MAN mode. Read

more in the Operating modes chapter.
The conditions needed for start or closing of

breakers are not fulfiled.
The gen-set can not be started if any red alarm

is active. The GCB can not be closed until the
gen-set is running and the generator voltage

Language support
The controller contains memory slots for 2 languages. There are English and Chinese in default
archives. The languages can be changed from LiteEdit software using dictionaries. There are two
types of dictionaries:
Default dictionaries are distributed together with the controller firmware.

Custom dictionaries are created by the user during the translation process.
The custom dictionary is used for storing of translations that were made by the user because there
was no default dictionary for the particular language, the default dictionary was incomplete or the user
just wants to have different translations. For more information about languages and translations see
the LiteEdit help.
It is possible to create any language, which uses a code page that is supported by the controller:
Win 1250 - Middle Europe

Win 1251 - Eastern Europe (Cyrilic)
Win 1252 - Western Europe, America
Win 1254 - Turkish
GB2312 - Chinese
NOTE:

The rate is adjusted in seconds for 100% load change (from 0 to 100% of
nominal power). So if the requested load change is 50% of nominal power,
the ramp duration will be 50% of this setpoint.
The ramp takes place in following situations:
The gen-set has been just synchronized and is ramping up to the

target load level (e.g. baseload in parallel to mains operation or
average gen-set load in multiple loadsharing operation)
The gen-set is running parallel to the mains and baseload is

NOTE:
This input is designed to be used only in the moment the gen-set is supplying
pumps for automatic fire-extinguishing devices (sprinklers) or in other
situations, where providing power is more important than protecting the genset.
CAUTION!
Misuse of this input can cause damage of the gen-set!

Binary input: Emergency MAN

Related
applications
All
Description
This input is designed to allow the gen-set to be controlled externally, not by

the controller. This feature can be useful in case of testing the gen-set or in
case of some failure, which disables the gen-set to be controlled by the
controller, but the gen-set itself is operational.
The controller behaves following way:
Shows the text EmergMan in the engine status on the main screen.
Stops all functions regarding the gen-set control, deactivates all
outputs related to it.
Stop Fail alarm is not beeing evaluated and stop solenoid is not
activated if nonzero speed is detected.
When the input is deactivated, the controller takes control over the
gen-set according to the situation the gen-set was in the moment of
deactivation. I.e. the gen-set remains running loaded if it was running
and GCB was closed in the moment the input was deactivated.
